Rare Psalm inscription uncovered in Judean Desert
(Worthy News) – A unique inscription written in Koine Greek, the language of the New Testaement, was unearthed by Hebrew University archaeologists during excavations at the Hyrcania Fortress in the Judean Desert.
Paraphrasing Psalm 86, the inscription reads, “Jesus Christ, guard me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you.” The first section of the original psalm reads “Lord” instead of “Jesus Christ.”
It was found on the side of a large building stone painted in red under a cross, most likely by a monk from a small Byzantine Christian monastery that was founded in the area at the end of the 5th century CE. [ Source (Read More…) ]
